We will be starting the term with a unit based on Learning to Learn. Children will look at ways to improve their ways of learning and they also set goals for themselves. Our second topic this term will be ‘Dial 111’. We will be learning about the emergency services and how, when and why we access them and the roles these services play in our community.
Just a few points:-
School begins at 9 o’clock. It is very important that children are here prior to this time so they are ready to go with their class to fitness. Parents and pre-schoolers are most welcome to join our fitness sessions.
If your child is absent from school, please contact Julie our Office Manager on 4456605.
We have several children who have severe allergies. Could you please reinforce with your children that they must not share food. It would also be helpful, if possible, to avoid including nuts in lunches.
Parent Help: This is very much appreciated. If you are interested, ask your child’s teacher. Please ask for a Guidelines booklet.
Each child will need a book bag and a library bag so they are able to bring books home. Reading books should come home Monday – Thursday.
Hats – Children must wear hats outside. Please ensure that it is named, as a named item is very easy to return to the owner!
Swimming: Children will be swimming this term. Please have named swimming gear in a plastic bag.
Lunch Orders
Sushi – Thursdays. Order envelopes are available at the office and orders must be in Wednesday morning.
Pita Pit - Fridays. Order envelopes are available from the office and need to be at the office before 9am Friday.
Newsletters come home every second Thursday with your youngest child.
School assembly is every second Friday( Starting February 11) – 9.00- 9.45. You are most welcome to join us.
